ANTICIPATION | 2016 Could Do

What COULD you do this year? I really enjoyed writing up my list for 2016 and was delighted to see that most of the things I could enjoy this year won’t cost me a cent!

Life is good…

For years my most consistent blog topic has been my weekly “Hello Monday” entries. It gave me a chance to change how I looked at the day and week ahead – not with dread but with hope. Over time Monday became my favourite day of the week.

I enjoy play time and am thrilled my kids have embraced my love of board games, card games and jigsaw puzzles. One of the best things I ever did was buy a dedicated games table for our family room.

TRUSTING the results of the ultrasound today at th

TRUSTING the results of the ultrasound today at the Princess Margaret in Toronto will give me the all-clear for my final (fingers crossed) follow-up appointment next week. I thought about bumping it (again) but realized the hospital is probably the safest place for me during the time of COVID-19, so I’ll just go. #trustfirsthandexperience #saynotobreastcancer

GRATEFUL to everyone (kids, friends, trades and services) who busted their butts to get my home up and ready for sale in record time. The fact that we got it sale-ready in 2-weeks (pre-Mercury Retrograde) is remarkable and a testament to the fortitude and desire of my kids - and a nod to the fact this is the 6th house I’ve sold in 25 years, I kinda know what I’m doing at this point. Let’s hope I get 25 years in the next place to rest and recover. I’m also grateful to my home, she showed so well! I will miss her, she’s been so very good to me and my family. I hope the new owners love her as much as I have. #nodoubtbillhelpedtoo #iwillmiss209lakewooddrive

INSPIRED to rest over the next week. Sleep in. Read a book. Drink tea. Write a list. Make simple meals. Take the dogs for a walk. Visit the lake. Mull some ideas. It has been a tremendously intense few weeks and it’s time to step back, take stock and breathe. Next week I can buckle down and start sorting and packing but now? Now is the time to regain some enthusiasm. I can grind through anything, I just don’t see the point right now. #peoplewillsimplyhavetowait

FUN for me is deciding on paint colours as my plan is to switch things up a bit with the move. I do believe the kitchen will stay red but the rest is up for grabs! Even my bedroom is changing for the first time in over a decade (and 3 homes). #timetoswitchthingsup #helloturquoise

I find nourishment for my mind by reading, taking

I find nourishment for my mind by reading, taking courses and sating my overwhelming curiosity by learning things that are new to me, every day. In many rooms in this home - and the next - there are comfortable reading nooks that include a lamp, chair, ottoman, pillow, blanket, table for both a book, a cup of tea - and sometimes a notebook or laptop. This is my happy place.

I find nourishment for my soul by trusting my instincts and following clear signs. After losing Bill, I was afraid I would lose myself to my grief. Instead, I decided to feel all of it: I allowed myself the darkness and the light without pre-determining the outcome. It was a journey of faith and surrender. I’m still in the sadness some days, and other days I do my best to continue to feel it all but with a clear focus on moving forward. To that end, I took stock of my life and released our dreams in favour of my reality. I listened to the whispers and followed the rainbows and bought a new home in a place that is completely new to me. It’s time for a fresh start, a whole new chapter, no safety net.

I find nourishment for my body in fresh food. I do my best to avoid eating processed foods and limit takeout to local restaurants, avoiding chains. After a lifetime spent in the grocery industry, I’m a dedicated “perimeter shopper” finding most of my food in the fresh sections of the store.

I welcome rest that comes in the form of time suspension. Years ago it was made clear to me while I travelled for business, (so many planes, so many places, so many points, so many miles) that from the time you put your butt in the seat to the time you landed was time that belonged completely to me. No one could get in touch with me, demanding my participation in whatever drama was unfolding 30,000 feet below me. I could read, I could think or I could simply rest. I regularly chose rest. I may not have slept, but I did my best to rid my brain of all the stresses that made me anxious and enjoyed the borrowed time away from what everyone expected from me. Though my life is markably less stressful, I do miss travel and time suspended.

I welcome rest in all its forms and that includes (when the timing works) our annual family trips to Cape Cod. The beach provides me with a big exhale and a chance to think of nothing, I’m in a state of calm and meditation from the minute I arrive (which is at the top of the Sagamore Bridge) until the frantic wash all of the sheets and towels and make the beds before we leave. For as long as we can be at the beach there is no place to be at any particular time - head to the beach? Read a book? Complete a puzzle? Eat a lobster roll? Play card games? Order fried clams? Drink pink lemonade? Lick drippy and sweet ice cream? Count shooting stars? The beach is one of my favourite forms of rest: rejuvenating my soul.
